WE ARRANGED A SUPRISE BIRTHDAY AT THE GEORGE AND DRAGON, THE MEAL WAS EXCELLENT AS USUAL AND MY GRANDSON GAVE HER THE FLOWERS WITH THE PRESENT. WE GOT HER A HOT AIR BALLON VOUCHER AND SOME GARDEN CENTRE VOUCHERS. I FOUND A BALLOON WITH 80 ON AND WE FASTENED IT TO HER CHAIR.
THE ROOM WAS VERY NICE, I HAVEN'T EATEN IN THE BACK ROOM BEFORE AND THE LANDLADY HAD MADE IT VERY NICE, WE MANAGED TO FILL THE ROOM AND EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME. JOE CAME IN TO SAY HELLO, MY GRANDSON THOUGHT HE LOOKED LIKE FATHER CHRISTMAS!! IT WAS NICE TO SEE HIM AGAIN, I DO BUMB INTO HIM OCAISIONALLY WHEN I'M UP AT WRAY. HE USED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT OUR HOUSE WHEN WE LIVED IN BOLTON WHEN I WAS MARRIED. I'VE KNOW JOE SINCE I WAS ABOUT 14 WHEN HE USED TO HELP MASONS ON THE FARM AND WAS AT THE CATHOLIC COLLEDGE WITH MY BROTHER.
